What's in a name? For the football programs at Ouachita and West Monroe, the mention of the other means a lot. For some it means rivalry. To others, it stirs memories of classic battles over the 2-5A district championship. Regardless of how you view the game this Thursday, it is another chapter in the storied history of one of the most passionate rivalries in the area.

"The game is very important to both communities," West Monroe linebackers coach Rob Arledge said. "(Ouachita has) continued to be a big game every year for us, and we hope that it is for the district championship every year."
